I came to Thailand for spiritual enlightenment and I must say my stay in Bangkok has been wonderfully ..... err .... uplifting.

I have consulted my guru ( not Bob ) and I have been assured that the Demons will win today's encounter with the Dorks by 46 points.

Hope you werent wearing the budgie smugglers

    Even with 20/75 vision the dog could see THE BALL WASN’T TOUCHED!

    Need to move on.

    Though, given what happened to Adelaide yesterday and us, they need much better Tech, that can overrule umps.

    Kev, I still have dreams that Simon Eishold kicks his goal in the 1987 Prelim.

    Moving on isn’t my specialty.

    Hawks will come out hard. We just have to "cope" for 2 1/2 quartrs then put the foot down. 

    MFCSS is through the roof.

    I'm so traumatised by the their last goal, I cannot remember Simons shot on goal. Did it go through and not given?

    Anything less than a forty point win will not suffice.

    Big day for Max. Boys need to get it done.

    Plus with a few teams going into finals with a lot of wins behind them, we need some form as well.

    Hopefully Smith and Jvr work well together.

    Playing the old enemy again. Don't even like calling their name, use the Potter, "they, that should not be named"

    Get it done Dees.

    He was 11 metres out on a 30 degree angle. Absolute shank.

    The Hawks can have their moments (and have had them in recent weeks). They can also dip and put in poor performances (that is why they are 16th). Expecting a solid Dees win.

    If you don’t turn up today and choose to watch on tv instead (and you’re in Melbourne obviously), then shame on you. Final home game of the year. In the race for top 4. Captain Max playing his 200th. Weather is mild. 
    Don’t be the sort of Melbourne supporter everyone laughs about. Turn up, make noise, and let’s bury those Hawks!

    Has junior footy finished as well? From memory it normally ends late August.

    i’m looking forward to the second half 

    i’m not looking forward to the first half. tight scrappy low scoring anxiety inducing 

    FYI Fritsch is doing drills at Goschs paddock as we speak. In some agility drills he looks to be moving with no issues at all.

    This is what I’m hoping for. For every 1-2 good wins, they put in a shocker.

    After the game Northey walked to that goal square to see if that surface was substandard.

    Feeling a bit ill today but last home game of the season will do my darndest to get there and distance appropriately.

    There in 2 

    The way to deal with a young team like this is to hit them harder around the contest than they have been getting hit recently. Second last round I reckon they could put the queue in the rack if we make it very uncomfortable for them from the jump.

    If we let them play the way they're wanting to play this could go very badly for us.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
